When finished, the inside is warm, but not hot. Suspect Thermister, Thermostat failing. I just don't enough about these units to know what controls what. I don't believe the heater element is bad, but it could be failing also. Suggestions??, before the wife goes out and spends $400 on a new one for a $20 part.

Post your findings. Here are the break down diagrams for the Whirlpool dishwasher Model GU1200XTLB1 Gene.
